Legend

From the first hello, it was hell.

From the first misstep, it was bound to be misery.

This timing’s got to be the death of me,

Step over my body, just leave my coffin open,

To maybe see light other than your halo one day.

 

You’re a legend in your chocolate box, of sympathetic eyes.

But the only thing of worth you taught them was how to say goodbye.

 

They’ll tell your stories,

Hang your name in lights,

You’ll be up there in the cradle,

A legend of your time.

They’ll tell your stories,

Long after you’ve gone away,

Let them believe that you were something,

We’ve all got to believe in something.

 

From the first goodbye, it was never good.

From the first kiss, it was a kiss goodbye.

Your timing’s got to be the death of me.

Step over my body, just leave my wounds open.

I want to feel hands more healing than yours, one day.

 

You’re a legend in your chocolate box, of sympathetic eyes.

But the only thing of worth you taught them was how to say goodbye.

 

They’ll tell your stories,

Hang your name in lights,

You’ll be up there in the cradle,

A legend of your time.

They’ll tell your stories,

Long after you’ve gone away,

Let them believe that you were something,

We’ve all got to believe in something.

 

I don’t wanna ruin your nice reputation.

I wouldn’t wanna ruin your nice reputation.

I don’t have to believe in you.

 

You’re a legend in your chocolate box, of sympathetic eyes.

But the only thing of worth you taught them was how to say goodbye.

 

They’ll tell your stories,

Hang your name in lights,

You’ll be up there in the cradle,

A legend of your time.

They’ll tell your stories,

Long after you’ve gone away,

Let them believe that you were something,

We’ve all got to believe in something.
